Citrix and SQL CAL's
I am planning a Citrix installation but have the following question.
I understand that for a 70 user Citrix installation I need 70 Licences for Citrix and that it there is a total of 140 Users/120 devices that I would need 120/140 CAL's for terminal Server. But if I have 2 Citrix load balanced servers running my application that accesses a SQL Database, do I need 120/140 SQL CALs or 70 SQL CAL's OR can I get away with having just 2 SQL Device CAL's as there are only 2 devices accessing the SQL DB (The Citrix servers)
Thanks

If you purchase the TS licenses by user rather than device you only need to worry about concurrent users on the system and NOT devices. much more cost effective unless you have more users than devices that share the devices...

It seems they call it multiplexing and it refers to the fact that the CAL is needed even if the connection to SQL is direct or indirect
Bloody MS get you all ways.
